ta for those.Wild mountain thyme is very popular as a last song but I often wonder why because it doesn't really seem to be about leaving our going home. Come to think of it Ive never really understood why the chorus keeps asking her if she"ll go?!

It's just a good song that seems to have become a standard for rounding off an evening/festival. Plenty of audience participation/harmonies etc. Will you go with us to the mountains to pluck the heather?

Farewell, my friends, I'm bound for Canaan, I'm trav'ling through the wilderness; Your company has been delightful, You, who doth leave my mind distressed.* I go away, behind to leave you, Perhaps never to meet again, But if we never have the pleasure, I hope we'll meet on Canaan's land.
